Micro babies

I have a new grandchild, our first! We’ll have to Skype a look at our grandson for the first few weeks until we can head west for a visit.

What better time to remind you to look at Camille Allen’s marvelous new polymer micro babies? Her tiny lifelike infants have attracted an amazing following of swooning grandmothers and serious collectors. Camille lives in British Columbia and eight years ago learned to sculpt dolls in polymer from her grandmother. Her miniatures range from $99 for a resin copy to $5,000 for a polymer original. I’m captivated, of course.

In my anxiety I overlooked several details last week. Judy Summers should have been listed in the Niche finalists. One of her horses is in the running! And I meant to include Vickie Hallmark in the list of electroforming experimenters.

                  Oh, how very exciting! I can’t imagine (at this point in my life) anything more wonderful than a grandchild…huge congratulations to you and your family.

                  Camille’s little babies have always gotten me ‘right there’…love seeing them again, and also, sending congrats to Judy (Summers) – a nicer person couldn’t have been chosen as a Niche finalist! I’m so happy for her..

                          Thanks so much for the link to my blog, Cynthia! I put up some photos of my favorite electroformed beads and directed people to information I have available about the technical process. I hope it inspires some to give this intriguing medium a go.

                                  Congratulations and welcome to the Grandma Club! There’s nothing like it. Who said: “If I’d known how much fun grandchildren are, I would have had them first.”?
